Length: 50mm from rim to base of cup 70mm

Stem: 20mm

Size large is generally suited for women that have had a vaginal birth, heavy flow, women over 30 years or those with weaker pelvic floor muscles.

Capacity: approx 36ml

Diameter: 46mm

Length: 55mm from rim to base of cup, from rim to tip of stem 75mm

Stem: 20mm

These sizing recommendations are a general guideline other factors you may need to consider are the strength of your pelvic floor muscles. If you fit most of the size 1 cup criteria but have very weak pelvic muscles then consider the size large cup. If you have a low sitting cervix then the size 1 cup will be a better fit. Some women find their cervix sits lower during the first 48 hours of their period then moves back to the higher position.

How often should I change my menstrual cup?

It is recommended the cup should be emptied, rinsed and reinserted every 4-8 hours, no more that 10 hours. it will vary greatly as every women’s cycle is so different. With a bit of practice you will quickly know how long you can leave it before emptying it during the different stages of your period.
